Marko Update

Marko is hanging in there (see previous post). Today was the last round of injections that we got from the vet (Vitamin B complex, penicillin, cortisone, etc.). Yesterday I was pretty optimistic -- he got up and walked a little bit, and drank water by himself.

Then today he wasn't moving as much, I have not seen him stand up either. I have been giving him water thru a big syringe. He tried to stand up a couple of times, but was not successful. I am really concerned.

I forgot to ask the vet how long it would take him to recover with the medicine. I am going to call him tomorrow to find out if there is a chance he will recover, or if there is no hope.
